Schuberth has announced two new helmets: The Schuberth S3 Carbon and Schuberth C5 ANC.


The full-face Schuberth S3 Carbon is positioned as a sport touring helmet that blends Formula 1 construction methods with long distance comfort. Its shell is made from 100 percent carbon using the same technicians and manufacturing processes used for Schuberth’s Formula 1 program, resulting in a weight reduction of up to 0.44 pounds compared to the fiberglass S3. For reference, S3 helmets in the brand's "medium" 57 and 59 size range weigh a claimed 3.32 pounds without accessories installed.


The helmet’s aerodynamics and aeroacoustics were refined in Schuberth’s wind tunnel to provide stability and reduced noise at highway speeds. Interior comfort is supported by premium liners and Schuberth’s Individual Program, which allows riders to tailor the fit through various padding options. Key features include a double D ring closure, Pinlock 120 XLT, an internal sun visor, and preinstalled hardware ready for the SC communication systems developed with SENA and Cardo. The S3 Carbon will be offered from size XS to XXXL with a recommended retail price of 1099 Euros and will be produced in limited quantities due to its specialized construction. North American pricing for the S3 Carbon is set at $1,099.

The modular Schuberth C5 ANC introduces Active Noise Cancellation technology to the company’s modular line and emphasizes a quieter, more controlled riding environment. Developed with Cardo, the system uses proprietary calibration that targets wind and turbulence noise while maintaining essential sounds such as the engine, nearby traffic, and emergency sirens. The system is integrated through the SC Edge ANC unit, which includes second generation DMC Mesh, Bluetooth 5.2, Natural Voice operation, over the air software updates, and a range up to 1.6 kilometers.


The C5 ANC helmet features new 53 millimeter ANC speakers that provide improved clarity and depth for music, calls, and intercom use. Schuberth positions the C5 ANC as an evolution of its long-standing approach to aeroacoustics, comfort, and safety. The helmet will be available in spring in Matt Black, Gloss White, and Concrete Grey at a recommended retail price of 799 Euros, with the SC Edge ANC system priced at 529 Euros. North American pricing is set at $1,449.

Schuberth C5 ANC – Control The Noise, Amplify The Ride

Schuberth C5 ANC

Since 1954, SCHUBERTH has set the standard in aero acoustics. Engineering helmets that have become the benchmark in quietness, comfort, and aerodynamic performance. Now, a new chapter begins.

SCHUBERTH is proud to introduce the new C5 ANC, a helmet that redefines aeroacoustics and sets the standard in rider experience. The SCHUBERTH C5 ANC integrates pioneering digital technology that reduces unwanted ambient noises, while providing industry leading depth and clarity of sound.


Riders are constantly exposed to a wide range of noises while out on the road. Some of which can be distracting, cause fatigue, and potentially lead to long term hearing damage. Active Noise Cancellation technology can help control the sounds riders are exposed to. However, unlike traditional Active Noise Cancellation systems, this system isn’t built for airplanes or coffee shops, it’s tuned for the road.

Developed in conjunction with Cardo, and using SCHUBERTH’s proprietary calibration and tuning, the SC Edge ANC system specifically targets wind and turbulence noise that causes rider fatigues and potential long term hearing damage, while retaining essential sounds like the engine noise, surrounding traffic and emergency sirens. This proprietary filtering ensure that riders can retain the passive safety sounds that they need to hear, while eliminating the noise that causes distraction. All of this is done with one clear goal: Control the noise, Amplify the ride.


Matteo Schieppati, head of business unit Motorcycles, mentions: “We are excited to be launching the C5 ANC helmet to market, a helmet that brings industry leading innovation to the end consumer. SCHUBERTH has a long history of developing rider focussed helmets, with aeroacoustics, safety and comfort as three of the leading factor in the development of all our products. With the C5 ANC we take this to a new level of performance and provide riders with a product that once again provides them with an unparalleled riding experience.

Schuberth C5 ANC

At the heart of this revolutionary C5 ANC is the SC Edge ANC communications system. A communications unit that has all the functionality of our SC Edge communication system as well as ANC. Featuring a reliable group communication through the 2nd generation DMC Mesh technology, Bluetooth 5.2, Natural Voice operation, Over-The-Air software updates and a range up to 1.6 km. This unit is supported by new powerful 53-millimeter ANC speakers, providing the C5 ANC with industry leading clarity and depth of audio, crystal clear communication and connectivity. Whether it’s intercom conversations or your favourite songs, the new ANC speakers redefine in-helmet audio with an immersive, high-fidelity experience, delivering depth and precision that set a completely new benchmark.


Shachar Harari, Vice President, Business Development at Cardo Systems, comments: “With the SC Edge ANC system, Cardo is proud to introduce genuine Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology that sets a new standard in rider protection and audio performance. Developed in close collaboration with SCHUBERTH, this breakthrough system filters harmful noise while preserving critical awareness—ushering in a new era of immersive, high-fidelity sound for motorcyclists.”

    I am curious if ANC in helmets ups the ante or is this hype? I would love it to not require my own ear plugs. I have trouble keeping seal with one weird ear canal shape. Custom plugs and lubricant help but movement always creates a gap and makes noise worse.
